How to check whether a port is open at client’s network/firewall?

by

Gotcha !!! I have solved my problem with JSONP and jQuery AJAX call. I discovered the timeout attribute of jQuery AJAX and my code executed fluently when the port was blocked or opened. Here is the solution for future visitors. Thanks to all answerers for contribution.
